Daran Edermath
Description
Daran had silver hair and was over a hundred years old. He was a retired member of the Order of the Gauntlet, but still kept in touch with them. His connections secretly made him one of the most powerful folk in Phandalin, if he cared to bring them to bear.
Personality Daran was quick to help, and was happy to speak and trade with newcomers to the town of Phandalin, sometimes offering them a place to stay in his apple orchard. However, he was slow to put his faith in strangers, and any hint of underhandedness could forever lose his trust. He preferred to avoid politics.
Possessions He owned a small cottage close by to his orchard.
Activities Daran managed the Edermath Orchard in Phandalin. He grew apples and produced cider, juice, and other goods to be sold to visiting merchants and local businesses.
Daran was, naturally, pleased when Gallus captured Glassstaff in the orchard whilst fleeing from the Redband defeat.

In 1491 DR, Daran became increasingly worried about the havoc that the Redbrands were causing in Phandalin. Anyone who spoke out or acted against them would be killed, and their family kidnapped. Daran wished that a group of adventurers would rise up and sever the head of the bandit organization by killing its leader, Glasstaff.In his earlier years, Edermath was an active agent of the Order of the Gauntlet, quelling evil throughout the Dragon Coast. Daran retired to open his apple orchard in Phandalin, though he still kept watch for evildoers in the region and maintained contact with some of the more powerful members of his order.
